Verdict
The clearest difference is price: NumBots at Free against Key Cards GCSE Maths's $1.99. NumBots also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (322 vs 41). Key Cards GCSE Maths's advantage is review sentiment (76% vs 66%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
